Neil Young’s New, Electric Car-Inspired Release Fork in the Road Due April 7th
Neil Young has been extraordinarily prolific throughout his storied career often exploring themes and subject matters most unusual. Today it was confirmed that Fork in the Road, a record about Young’s Linc Volt electric car project, will see release on April 7th. Most of the songs have been debuted on Young's latest World Tour. The only previously unheard song is Johnny Magic, an affectionate tribute to Jonathan Goodwin, who is Young’s developmental partner in the Linc Volt project. Young has spent significant amounts of time working with Goodwin at his Wichita, Kansas garage over the past year. Goodwin, known as the “motorhead messiah,” is one of the worlds preeminent electric car experts, and with Shakey’s penchant for automobiles and the environment it was a match made in automobile heaven.
The album was recorded with Young’s touring band, which includes Ben Keith (pedal steel guitar, keyboards), Chad Cromwell (drums), Rick Rosas (bass), Pegi Young (vocals) and Anthony Crawford (vocals, guitar).
Young plays the John Labatt Centre in London, ON on April 15th. Additional dates here.
